Last night, after hours of gameplay, I beat Fallout for PC. The graphics were top notch back in the day and I always wanted it, but I never got it. No idea why. So, 10 years later, I got the game and it's brother, along with it's RTS cousin, but it's taken me 11 years to fully appreciate how cool this game is. It actually reminded me a lot of Morrowind or Oblivion in a sense. There were incredible consequences to every action I took. In one situation, I saved an entire town from a fat casino kingpin, helped out the entire village, but ended up joining a gang to take out a little bar. Why? I don't know. I guess I really just wanted to kill the bartender so I could have his dead wife's ashes. I figured I'd need it later. I was hoping that no one else in the game would know, but I guess bad karma gets around. I couldn't walk around the town without being stopped and butchered by guards, so I decided to shotgun my way through the town. By the time it was over, I leveled up, had killed everyone in town, stolen everything I could, and was on to the Hub, who apparently hated the town I disposed of and greeted me with open arms. Being evil is hardwork. Actually, being good is harder, but being evil is hard work as well.

In the end, my guy was addicted to drugs (or for you UK players, addicted to chems). My vault never got it's water chip. My karma was in the -15s. Oh, and I was caught by some mutant scum and this happened:


Good news, though. I saved before I went to mutant town. I'll go back there later, when I'm ready to steal their water chip.
